The destroyer Hahn of Uncle Sdm's prohibition navy says a New York dispatch has been detailed to patrol the waters of the Atlantic afcross the sea lanes riddon by New York bound liners, to observe the activities of incoming vessels from Europe while beyond the 12 miles limit. Prohibition Zone Chief Appleby of New York and New Jersey believes tile big liners are making a practice of bringing costly cargoes of whiskey which they discharge to lighters and tugs while beyond the legal 12 mile line. Mr. Appleby declared that he dispatched one of his agents on a tug a few days ago to meet an incoming liner. He claims to have boarded the vessel as. a prospective purchaser of;'contrab;?nd liquors arid- to have boon shown 10,000 cases of whiskey 'tween decks. According to Mr. Appleby the lq.ws can not be applied to vessels engaged in this practice. Those removing the liquor for smuggling into the country, he declares, are the only ohes that may be held. ? House and senate conferees on tVe army appropriation bill have reached a compromise on nn army of 125.000 enlisted men for the next 12 months. This represents a reduction of y.OOO" from the senate figure and an increase of 10,000 over the size of the lifted by the house. Decision as to, the conference Report on tho enlisted strength leaves only two imjwtant sections of the annual supply Will, to be considered, exclusive of the Afpsclc Shoals amendment approving $*500,000 for tho continuation of work on the federal power project in the iStnnesscc river.

Under a compromise plan suggested Saturday to President Harding by house Republican leaders and which, it was said, did not meet his disapproval, the house will take up the ship sybsidy bill immediately, after the senate has passed the tariff bill. While the question will be considered further rii a White House conference next week, Chairman Campbell of the rules committee, who outlined the situation to the presiden., declared tonight it "whs morally certain no action would be-taken on t'.e subsidy bill by the house until the senate has concluded consiQeratior of the tariff." Meanparty leaders professed to be relieved that at solution of an admittedly ve tatious problem has beer reached.

Minn., June 17: Anothei mixed jury in St. Paul is in the limelight. this time because one of it: women was entertained'at dinner by the chief counsel for a man it hat just acquitted of charges of robbing a jewelry store here. A few month! ago. a mixed jury in district cour here gained national attention becaus* its women members were forced t< spend a night in the same roont witl male members while the jury was on on a case. Six women were on tin jury which Thursday acquitted Jacl Harris in district court here of tin Ijrst degree robbery charge. It de veloped yesterday that one womai member of the jury and two oth -r wo men not jurors had been entertained a dinner Thursday evening after tin verdict was returned, by a man asso ciated with Harris' defense. This in client and reports reaching,, county Attorney H. D. O'Brien that $10,000 had .been offered the jewelry store heads not to prosecute the case and Mr. O'Brien's statement that lie received hints that there would be $10.000 in it if the state lost the case, prompted district Judge Olin 11. Lewis to order an investigation. All jurors in the case have i>cen summoned to appear at the county attorney's office and discuss with him and Judge Lewis the deliberations in the jury room and other indications in connecj tion with the case. The woman juror entertained at dinner was Mrs. Nellie Anderson and she and her husband. .(Jus Anderson, were in the central police station today, held without charge, pending an investigation.

TUESDAY, JUNE 20, 1922. To say that the United States must permit the sale of liquor on shipping: board ships because foreign ships permit the sale of liquor is quite absurd. America does not have to sell liquor simply because some other country sells liquor. We can make them all quit one way or another and that is the way to do it. We can prohibit liquor-selling ships from engaging in American trade and if the liquor sellers want to prohibit our 'ships from engaging in their trade simply because we \will not stand for liquor, we cdn lick tiiem. If there is nothing else fp do, let /ps do that. We are Inclined to the view that the Republicans are now going after postmasterships wherever they want them, regardless of whether terms are expired. It is a fact that the Wilson administration extended many as yet unexpired terms before It went out of power. The same thing had been done by previous Republican administrations. Theoretically the postofflce is i under the protection of the civil service. Actually an administration can turn out \ an incumbent whenever it wants to. There are hundreds of pretexts thut serve for the purpose, and when an administration wants an office, there* is generally very little else I to do than vive it ud. The Hague conference opened up lust .week with) the newsjuiper correspondents burred from admission. The fools! There was a time when a few schemers could make a plaything of the world behind closed doors; hut that time is past. The newspapermen are there simply to keep the world advised as to what is. doing. The managers of the conference might be able to kdep the ne^sffcapers from getting the exact facts, which means hiding the truth from the world. But all the same the newspaper men will get enough of it all to enable them to give the world an idea of what is doing, and the scheming of .the schemers will not do a great deal of harm?not nearly as much harm as it-would have done in the days, when there were fewer newspapers. The United States senate has at last consented to give place to tlie greatest American in the Hall of Fame?tlie rotuhda of the capitol. Each state is entitled to a statue of its greatest in each of two niches. By common consent of the country and the world George Washington cartie first; but George Washjngton belonged primarily to Virginia and Virginia (had the say as to why should go into her niches. She said othere was nothing the matter with Washington, of course; hut unless Robert E. Lee should be allowed to occupy \he other niche, both ni' lies could just s%nd empty. The senate held out i for a long time, but of course Virginia did not care. She knew that the fame [ of Washington of Virginia, was safe statue or no statue, and she could well i afford to rest easy. The senate and ! the world knew that without Washj ington the Hall of Fame was a joke so at last the senate lias come across, ' j Washington was a great man; but | ; America has never produced a greatei . | man than Robert E. Lee, and Virginia i .is entitled to the gratitude of the pres' ent generation, as well as of posterity ; for making the senate* come across. We have no quarrel with State Su^ ' perintendent of Education Swearingen , We think lie was the right man in the I right place at the right time, and thai | he has perfoimed a splendid service that could not have been performed . so well by any other man. We do not ' mean by that that we think he was | ! the ablest or brainest man to be found; ? 'but owing to his surroundings, the in fluence behind him and his affliction lie was able to formulate and carry oil! policies, which policies though the) ^ may have been formulated as ably 01 : even more ably by others, could noi ' have been carried out by or througl * janv other one man. But now we are ? i t inclined to think it is about time for ; i* ! change. South Carolina is making tre mendously increased appropriations foi I educational purposes. We are not willi. ing to say that these appropriations an < too large. Indeed it may be that the) should be even larger. But that there j are others who might be able to direel . | better, more able and efficient distri' [tuition, we have very little doubt. A change in the head of the education.*] . jdepartment at' this time might vorj easily be lbr the bijat< interest of the state. 1 "Friendly Enemies" was the title ot a powerful dra ma t hat was presented by?the RedpatW chautau(|ua last Friday night. Tine large audience sat through it with' keen interest anil great enjoyment. ! There was much humor and pathosV in it, and not a little patriotism; biit after it was over some of those wh?o were present were tremendously eons trained to tvondcr the why of it all just at this time. The evident motive of the play was (o teaeh the splend id patriotism and lpyalty of German- American citizens. Karl Pfieffer and Henry Jllock had come to America in.' the steerage' when they were yoyng xind after getting hold as shoemakers had gotten along in the world. When the war broke out both were middle ag;ed. Block had become v(ery rich and l'fleffer was Weil-lO-UO. 1 lit) ?vuc (jtciu ii icuuci. Pfleffer had a son who was in love with Block's daughter., Block and his daughter wore four-MQ.uare American sympathizers -?- red- blooded Americans. So were Mrs. Pfleffer and her son, William; but the flatter were compelled to hide their Peelings from the father and husband, for he was German to the core. Mulch of the splendid humor of the play centered around the quarrels between Pfleffer' and Block?Block's efforts to convince Pfleffer that the Fatherland with its Kaiserism was >vrong, and Pfleffer's stubborn refusal to see anything of the kind. When ' old man Pfleffer lenrned that his son, William, had been nine months at Plattsburg instead of at college nnd that his wife had known it all along, he left home ' - - ? - 1 WI,. V,l? in U Ifrnuie IJUSaiUII UIIU ><1 mn wife's heart, and he refused to go to the ship to see his boy leave with his regiment. In the meantime he had contributed $50,000 to a German spy with the understanding that the money was to be used for propaganda and to help end the war. But that night came news from the sky that the troop ship with 5,000 soldiers had been sunk and later he learned that his own boy was aboard. As the result of the conditions that had been brought about in his family, Pfleffer at last began to see the light, and listening to the persistent and insistent arguments and persuasion of "(Block he came to his senses and turned over. Between the two they trapped .and captured the spy and later it turned out that the boy had not been drowned; but hud put off notifying his parents because" of the first duty he owed in trying to help his distressed men. As stated, it was a wonderfully, strong story wonderfully presented; but there is about it all that which impells one to ask for the why's, the more especially in the light of the information that the Redpath people have no less than half a dozen companies presenting this identical play from five to six nights a week. One of the first why's is the motive of this particular German play, when there is abundant material for American plays of the same character and no less stir? ring in their nature. The play undoubtedly emph. sizes the perfect quality of German patriotism and loyalty, even that of the spy and one is constrained to ask whether or not this is calculated to exalt German citizenship above any other. It would have seemed impossible to have intensified the patriotism of any American over that attributed to Karl and, Henry. It is possible that the effect of all this could be other than the exaltation of German citizenship generally and the value of such exaltation lust at this time is so great that even the Redpath people must surely be able to see it. And with so great a propaganda value to German people there is reason to wonder whether the Redpath people are putting on this great play for purely altruistic reasons. If somebody is paying for all this, who is that stmebody likely to be? However, i Friendly Enemies is a great play. Treasury Department Spoils. The circulation of a petition to the president giving the names of about 1 150 Democrats who are still holding what are described as "key" positions in the Treasury Department, averring that the Harding administration is not > receiving the co-operation it should re1 ceive because of the partisan activitie? ' I of these Democrats, and. asking that these places be filled forth-with by ' good Republicans, the said petition ' being signed by more than 150 Repub I lican representatives, goes to make up the latest chapter in what has come to 1 i be known as the Blair-Dover eontro' j versy. j The Blair-Dover controversy is a I controversy over the loaves and fishes jof office, wih Assistant Secretary of | ilit- i reasury louver scemng u> turn . out the Democrats in the department of Internal Revenue Commissioner t jRlair to make room for hungry Repub' I lieans, and Commissioner Blair holding I | on to these Democrats because of their I long training and experience in the special work they are now doing. Knowing that upon his own shoulders | must rest the credit or blame for the , I failure or success of the internal revci nue department, Mr. Blair is more concerned in economic efficiency in the conduct of his office than he is in l handing out rewards to the politically i faithful. On the other hand, Mr. Dover being rather more of a practical i politician than a business man, knows I very well that the men who helped r overthrow the Democratic administration and put in the Republican admin istration, are interested in nothing | more than good paying jobs for tliem? selves, and unless they get those jobs I J they will have neither heart nor . ' stomach lor the tight that will be L necessary to keep the Republican II party in power. j All along it has been claimed that SocWtftry'Mellon has hem jcNnrt Mr. Blair, and that tlio president is behind Mr. * Mellon, which i8 "very probable, but with a hundred and fifty or more congressmen, the seats of most of them (threatened by Democratic aspirants behind Mr. Dover, the troubles of Messrs. Blair, Mellon and Harding arc more easily imagined than describe*!. Just now it is costLng all the way up to 80 cents on the dollar to collect all the various taxes that arc being collected, and in many instances a great deal more than that; but with the hungry politician the cost of administering a government is of very small consequence in comparison with the question as to who draws tlio salaries and administers the offices. According trf our notion it is quite easy to seo who will win out in this Dovcr-Blalr controversy, and we are betting on Mr. Dover. , 0 , Swearingen Quits Governor's Race. the Hon. J. E. Swearingen has withdrawn from the gubernatorial race and has announced his intention to stand for re-election to the office which he now holds. This is in accordance with information obtained by a staff representative of The Yorkville Enquirer during the sitting of the recent state convention and forecast at the time. The information as obtained by our representative was that Mr. Swearingen had, been flattered into the gubernatorial race by county superintendents of education who desire to get rid of him as st^te superintendent. The idea was that if Mr. Swearingen should get mio me suDernaiunai rate, uc would, whether elected or not, be eliminated from t'he state educational system, and that system would hereafter have an opportunity to develop through eyes that can see. Relatives and close friends of Mr. Swearingen, who were in no wise parties to the trick; but who were able to see through the whole thing as soon as it developed, have evidently been able to convince him that he stood no show of being elected governor, and that his defeat as a candidate for that office would mean his complete elimination from the public affairs of the state. While of course Mr. {Swearingen did not know it, as a gubernatorial candidate he was virtually impossible. He was placed in the office of state superintendent of education through the political power and influence of his uncle, the late Senator Tillman. He was kept there largely by that samt^power and influence coupled with his blindness, and the fact that to a certain extent at least he made good. It is a fact that as superintendent of j education Mr. Swearingen has never j been popular except'with the general public, which know* but mtie aoout his office and. which cares less. Legislators have always borp afraid of him. It was very well upd^rsbOod that (having arrived at his conclusions through the suggestions of tfttfeW who could see and having made upl his mind as to what he wanted, there was no use arguing with him. Iloth senators and representatives have been giving him practically wlmtovo?vih? would ask for, rather than incur an unpleasantness that they believed tyas inevitable in case of antagonism. There are very few men of political standing and experience in tho state who believe that Mr. Swearingen could be elected to the governorship. As a rule they understand that it would be dangerous to an opposing candidate to stir up his temper and make him show his real self. The common idea is thut such a procedure would arouse sympathy for Swearingen, which sympathy would ojreratc against his opponents. iul unutTsiainuiiK uus iuci ?m wen us they do, tho other candidates would lind means of accomplishing the desired end without having to take the responsibility. Except for his mistake in allowing himself to be flattered Into trying for the governorship, there is little doubt that Mr. Swearingcn could have been re-elected to bis present office with but small difficulty. But as to how he is going to come out, now is not so certain. For one tiling it depends upon how he may go babk at the people who tried to trick him out of tlie race, and for another thing, it will depend upon what 1tind of n showing the other candidates may be able to make throughout the campaign.

There is a large acreage of grassy cotton over the county and if dne is to take the- crops to be seen from the road between Yorkville and Chester as an indication the general outlook for a crop is anything but encouraging. Somewhat early for York county "rosen ears," but the editor of The Yorkville Enquirer has been complimented with a liberal mess by Mr. T. G. McGill, of Hickory Grove. The roasting'ears came by parcels post last Saturday morning and although no records are, available, people who are informed about such matters say this is an unusually early date. A letter from a wealthy friend in another city, inquiring about certain gold mining properties'in York county, reminds lis that thera has vervlif tie doing- along mining or prospecting lines in this section since along about the beginning of the World war. There was some mining activity going on in the county about the time the war broke out; but it was not lpng until it was suspended. That there' is gold in York county, and plenty of it, is the testimony of all the experts and near experts, interested or disinterested, who have ever made investigations. And it is a fact that many people in times past have made good money panning gold in the branches of the northern and western sections; but that anybody has ever realized any considerable fortune at either panning or digging, is not a mattcY of authentic record. It is a fact, however, that there is to be found in Broad Itiver, Bethel and King's Mountain townships as much evidence of prospecting work as is to be found in any similar area probably in California. It is a matter of tradition, pretty well confirmed, that John W. Mackey, of Bonanza fame, once wielded the pick, shovel and pan of a miner in this countv. and that he operated to some extent in what is now known as the Wallace mine, about five miles northeast of Yorkville. This was in 1848, and when the news of the great strike of 184D in California reached here, Maekey hocked his tools in order to get away. Among the more or less well known mining properties of former and recent years are the Jonathan Moore mine, the Magnolia minp, the Martin mine, the Schlcgclmilch mine, the Ferguson mine, the Big Wilson mine, the Little Wilson mine, the Wallace mine, the Mary copper mine, the Nanny Mountain mine, etc., etc. Yes, there is gold in York county?plenty of it. It has always been a tremendous lure and it will always continue to be a lure; but as to whether anybody will ever get anything out of it? Well, if the gold minor were less optimistic than ho is there would not' be nearly so much gold in the world as there is! THE MARRIAGE RECORD. Since the last publication of the record in The Yorkville Enquirer, the following marriage licenses have been issued by the judge of probate to the following: Juno 13?William S. Moore and J.

COURT NEXT MONTH At the present time there are fourteen prisoners in the York county jail awaiting trial at the July term of the court of general sessions which convenes on Monday, July 10. A special judge will very likely be appointed by Governor Harvey to preside at this term, due to the death of Judge Ern est .Moure of the Sixth circuit who would luive presided had he heen living and in good health. There is considerable speculation as to whether or not Albert Zimmerman and .Mrs. Kflfie Hoggins, white man and woman will be tried for the alleged murder of I'ink Hoggins, a white store keeper of Charlotte street Yorkville who was murdered last November. The case has been hanging over several term.* of court, now and since the death of her husband, Mrs. Hoggins has given birth to a baby boy, said to be the child of Zimmerman who is charged jointly with her for killing Hoggins. His lifeless body was found on the side of the load several hundred yards from his store oil .Monday morning, November s, last year, a bullet wound through his heart. Zimmerman has been a prisoner in the York cout.v jail since a short time after the killing of Huggins, having J Tieen arrested in Shelby, N. C. A j short time before her baby came Mrs. I Hoggins was released on bond in the I sum of ?500 signed by two citizens of Yorkvillel She was taken ' to the county i>oor house where her baby was born. She is still living at the county home although she came to the sheriff's office a short time ago and asked permission to go to fiastonia, N. C. : where she said she could get work in ' a cotton mill. She was informed by | tiie sheriff that he had not the authority to give her permission to go j anywhere. Albert Zimmerman is apparently ' none the worse off for his seven I months' confinement in the jail here. I Relatives in York county and from j North Carolina come to see him alI * l.rt I..

The Rcdpath Chautauqua closed its live day engagement in Yorkvllle last Saturday night and the consensus of opinion of many local people who did not miss a performance was that it furnished the most delightful entertainment, amusement and instruction that the town has had in a similar length of time since the chautauqua last year. While there were .a few people vim din noi uunK imu ine mtractions this year were up to last year's standard the majority thought that they were even superior. Certain it is that artists of ability were included in the personnel of ouch company of entertainers and that each performance was a great treat for those who like entertainment of the nature provided by a Chautauqua.

Carroll, superintendent of education of York county is teaching in the summer school for teachers at Furman University, Greenville. While he is away the superintendent's office is in charge of his son, Mr. Milus Carroll. Mr. Carroll is teaching practical mathematics in the summer school at Furman. He is teaching the teachers how to teach practical arithmetic. Mr. Carroll's idea is that there are a lot of rural school teachers who do not know a great deal about ordinary arithmetic that they should know. For instance there are very few rural school teachers in York county at least who know how to calculate an increase or decrease in a special school district levy." He is teaching them that and a lot of other valuable information relative to the connection of the rural schools of a county with the state department of education. Prior to election as county superintendent of education more than twenty years ago, Mr. Carroll was a teacher in the public schools of York county and a good one too. There are many successful men and women in York county who got their -schooling from him and in view of his long und practical experience he is amply fitted to hold a chair in the summer school at Purman. Dr. W. M. Kennedy of Yorkville and Dr. W. F. McGUl of Hickory Grove have returned to their respective homes after attending the meeting of the state Dental association in Georgetown. They made the trip by automobile, driving Dr. McGill's Ford for a total of 47S miles, one day being consumed in going and another on the return. They went by Chester, Great Falls, Camden, Sumter, Manning, Kingstree, and Andrews, and returned by Columbia and Wlnnsboro. The only car trouble experienced was on the return trip Just out of Wlnnsboro t when they broke a spring. "We found i the roads good all the way,'' said Dr. Kennedy in speaking of the trip yesterday. "We struck one piece of bad road between Sumter and Mantling on me trip uown, wnere the state highway department was. engaged at work, but on the wholo the reads were excellent all the way.'.' Asked about the crops down state Dr. Kennedy said that cotton and corn as a rule were quite poor, corn especially so while in some sections the grass had so taken the cotton crop that it had been abandoned. The best cotton crop was observed in Clarendon county, although it was not up to tho usual standard anywhere along tho route. Tho tobacco crop appeared to be gbod in each county traversed on the trip from Sumter on to Georgetown, the farmers evidently paying more attention to its cultivation than to cotton and corn. "Georgetown appears to be unite prosperous," said Dr. Kennedy. "There are big lumber plants there which are going good and farmers of the county have a good thing in truck farms. Little cottoa is raised, in Georgetown. LOCAL LACONICS Charged With Forgery. Charged with forgery.
